Hiki House Series. <Four Seasons>
平安時代の10世紀から始まる女性用、日本の朝廷の伝統的な装束では、複数の衣を重ねることが基本で、その色の組み合わせ、あるいは袷の衣服の表地と裏地の色の組み合わせを「かさね」(襲・重)と呼ぶ十二単の着こなしの工夫が多くなされた。
このような重ね・襲ねの取り合わせを「重ね・襲ねの色目」というが、色目については主に季節感を取り入れた組み合わせになっている。春夏秋冬・または植物や色単体のグラデーションによりおびただしい数の種類があり、着用の季節や行事が厳密に定められていた。これらの季節感などを無視した取り合わせを用いることはマナー違反・センスがないと見なされ、当時の女性が工夫を凝らして装ったことが当時の物語や日記などに垣間見ることができる。(Wikipediaより)
HikiHouseシリーズの展開として、恋が一世一代の仕事であった平安時代の女性たちの最大の自己主張、勝負下着ならぬ<勝負襲ね色>の様式を用いた。

Hiki House Series. <Four Seasons>
Starting from the 10th century during the Heian period, traditional court attire for women in Japan involved layering multiple garments. The combination of colors for these layers, or the combination of the outer and inner layers of lined garments, was called “kasane” (重ね or 襲), which led to various ways of wearing the jūnihitoe (twelve-layered kimono).
These combinations were referred to as "Kasane no Irome" (the colors of layering), and they often reflected a sense of the seasons. There were countless types of combinations based on spring, summer, autumn, winter, or gradients of plants and colors. The specific combinations were strictly determined by the season and event. It was considered poor manners and a lack of taste to ignore these seasonal combinations, and the ingenuity with which women of the time dressed is evident in the tales and diaries of that era. (from Wikipedia)
As an expansion of the HikiHouse series, this style uses the concept of "<Kachō Kasane Irome>," akin to "winning underwear," representing the ultimate form of self-expression for Heian-period women, for whom love was a once-in-a-lifetime endeavor.
